== Description ==
Horses are primarily found on [[Terrain:Steppe|steppe]] or [[Grass tiles|grass]] land. You can use a rope on them to lead them.
== Notes ==*[[Rope|Lead-able]]. Does not have without having to be tamed to be lead.*[[Mounts|Ride-able]] with 21 [[Body Control]].
*Can be [[Animal taming|tamed]] with [[seeds]].
*[[Mounts|Ride-able]] with 21 [[Body Control]] (has to be either led or tame for this).
*Poor climber.
*Wild horses (those that merely spawn somewhere in the wild) are grey. Bred horses come in one of 5 known colour types: Black, white, grey, brown and , gold. *Wild Bred horses have individual (but not unique) names randomly chosen at birth.*Bred horses can have traits affecting their speed or other characteristics.*Bred horses have 2 foal stages (young and adolescent) before they grow to young horses all .*A horse without speed affecting traits or equipment will have the same a max speed: of ~18 kph(when riding it).*Riding speed is completely unaffected by terrain type. It's the same everywhere on and offroad. *Any traits (see below), the horse's hunger, tile terrain steepness (uphill only) and your the rider's weight can effect affect the speed of the horse. Your weight is randomly checked while on the horse. Paving or tile type has no effect on horse speedwhen riding.
*[[Saddle]]s and [[horse shoe]]s will raise the maximum speed. A horse's gear can only be accessed or changed when tamed, and only by the tamer.
*As mobs attack tamed mounts before the rider and horses do not withstand much damage, it's usually wise to ride them untamed (to untame simply tame another animal).
*As mounts will go neither up nor down slopes over a certain max, it can be wise to ride to avoid falling off mountains.
*Being mounted provides a very substantial advantage in combat. It's usually much easier to kill a strong mob (or other opponent) when riding.
*Mounts are unaffected by the rider's stamina and health. Therefore riding makes it possible to retreat from combat regardless of low stamina/critical wounds.
== Traits from Some traits (see more in [[Animal husbandry]] ) ==
Speed related traits will turn on and off at random intervals by design.
*'''"It has fleeter movement than normal."''' - This trait is known to create a small speed boost.
*'''"It has lightning movement."''' - This causes a much higher speed boost.
*'''"It can carry more than average." ''' - The rider's inventory will affect the horse's speed less.
*'''"It has very strong leg muscles." ''' - The horse can be ridden up a on much steeper slopeslopes.*'''"The legs are of different length." ''' - This causes a very severe loss of speedpenalty.
